Cut for comfort all day long, there are reinforced key wear and stress points at the knees, inner calves and seat. Three-quarter-length two-way side zips make the Ridge-Seeker Pant easy to put on over boots in a hurry, and dump heat when working hard, while an integrated elasticated waistband delivers a comfortable fit, whatever layers are underneath. The leg cuffs are adjustable at two points for extra protection from the elements. The women’s pant weighs 366g (size 12) and the men’s weighs 389g (large).
